Clemens Alfred Aeppli

Clem Aeppli is an incoming Assistant Professor in the Work and Organization Studies group at MIT Sloan.

In his research, he aims to understand how broad transformations in the organization of work shape inequality and instability. His projects have dealt with pay gaps between workplaces, the effect of rising workplace segregation on racial inequality, payroll instability at subcontractors, and the emergence of modern factories in the early 20th century. He uses quantitative approaches to study American and French administrative data — both contemporary and historical — and is interested in the methods we use to understand economic and social life.

Clem obtained his PhD from Harvard University's Sociology Department in 2026.
